How to manage shared folders on Windows

Click on the Syncplicity logo on the taskbar and click on the Manage and share folders… link to open the Folder Synchronization & Sharing window.

 

Within this window, folders added to the user’s account are displayed on the left. The color of the folder name corresponds to its status. Folders in black are private to the user. Folders in dark red and marked (shared) are shared with others. By clicking on a shared folder, the user can view information about the share on the right half of the window.

 


 

Users the folder is shared with are displayed at the bottom with colors representing their level of access. If the logo to the left of their name is grey instead of in color, this signifies that that user is not synchronizing the folder directly to any of their computers. Red X’s will appear to the right of each user name to signify people who the user has permission to remove from the share. Folder owners can remove any sharing participant while individual users can only remove those whom they’ve invited directly.

 

To stop sharing a shared folder as a participant, click Leave Folder. If the user is the folder’s owner, the Remove Folder link appears. Clicking this link will remove the shared folder entirely ending the share for all users and removing its existence from Syncplicity.
